I recently explored The Bahamas, a coral-based archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, located a short 50 miles off the coast of Florida. The Bahamas are comprised of over 700 breathtaking islands and cays, with the clearest turquoise water you can imagine!

When most people think of The Bahamas, the first thing that comes to mind is Nassau or one of the larger islands. But on this trip I was able to get off the beaten path and explore Eleuthera, a smaller and less developed island. Eleuthera is a unique destination that is laid-back, serene, and untouched with stunning beaches!

When visiting Eleuthera I highly recommend staying at The Cove It is perfectly located right on the beach surrounded by swaying palms and white sand coves. It is secluded, seductive and stylish, offering five-star impeccable service. Every luxury that you could want is at your fingertips!

The intimate, 57-room resort has a selection of stylish seaside cottages and villas, embraced by endless turquoise waters.

Each suite is decorated in a chic and modern style, with neutral tones and clean white lines complemented by luxury amenities like: air conditioning, enormous and comfortable beds, floor to ceiling sliding glass doors, ultra-modern furnishings, large flat screen TV’s, Wi-Fi and luxurious bathrooms.

Some suites even have their own plunge pool!

All of the villas feature amazing beachfront views that you can enjoy from the comfort and privacy of your bed or outdoor patio.

The property has a beautiful infinity pool that overlooks the Caribbean Sea as well as private white sand beaches that are available only to hotel guests.

There is full beach service throughout the day with lounge chairs, towels and food & drinks and the staff are extremely friendly, exhibiting that warm hospitality that the Bahamian people are so well known for!

There is also a bevy of activities to keep you busy including: snorkeling, paddle boarding, kayaking, biking, horseback riding, and scuba diving!

There is a fitness center and spa on property as well as a gourmet restaurant that serves excellent sushi. Their kitchen uses only sustainable produce and vegetables from their own gardens and locally sourced seafood.

Be sure to arrive in style and on your own schedule! Nothing is more Luxe than taking a private plane straight from Miami for the short 50-minute flight.

Once you’ve arrived, make sure to carve out time to explore every hidden gem of this beautiful island. The Cove offers Jeep rentals on property, so you can explore on your own! I suggest visiting The Glass Window Bridge, which offers amazing panoramic views of the rich blue Atlantic Ocean and the calm turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. The contrast between the two bodies of water is truly amazing.

After that, head over to the Queen’s Bath on the Atlantic Ocean. Here you will find natural pools that you can soak in with crystal clear water that has been naturally warmed by the sun.

Finally, make sure to visit the Blue Hole. This is one the most beautiful cenotes that I have ever seen and if you’re brave enough – leap in!

Eleuthera is a destination not to be missed! If you’d like to start planning your honeymoon or vacation to The Cove please email me. Not only will you be VIP guests but you will receive complimentary breakfast daily, a $100 hotel credit, plus top priority for room upgrades.

Park City is the perfect destination for a relaxing, romantic, or adventurous getaway. It is the largest ski area within the United States with roots dating back to the historic mining times. Today it is internationally known for the amazing skiing & snowboarding that it offers. Park City has over 7,300 skiable acres with a good mix of beginner, intermediate and advanced slopes. While some think of Park City as only a winter destination, it offers events and activities year-round. There are over 100 world-class restaurants & bars, open-air concerts, amazing spas, boutique shopping, art galleries, unique golf courses and a revolving calendar of festivals.

There are many 5-Star hotels and luxury accommodations to choose from within Park City but I recommend making The Montage Deer Valley your home when visiting. It is an amazing property with exceptional service and it is located just 5-minutes away from Park City’s Main Street. The resort offers an authentic yet refined mountain experience with unrivaled ski‐in ski‐out access.

The Montage Deer Valley has the largest spa within Utah, offering exceptional beauty treatments, spa therapies and wellness services that are inspired by the beautiful local mountains. The property also has an amazing fitness facility that offers a variety of challenging exercise & yoga classes as well as nutritional training.

There is no shortage of dining options when staying at The Montage Deer Valley and their food is absolutely delicious! There are 5 uniquely different restaurants for you to choose from – Apex, Daly’s Pub & Rec, Burgers & Bourbon, Yama Sushi, & Vista Lounge.

Be sure to visit Daly’s Pub & Rec and enjoy a game or two in their bowling alley!

It’s easy to stay busy when visiting The Montage Deer Valley but I recommend leaving time to relax in their amazing outdoor spaces. The property has a beautiful pool and large fire pits where you can unwind after a long day on the slopes or post hiking. They’ll even provide you with everything that you’d need to make s’mores!

There is also a chic Veuve Cliquot yurt where you can get your Apres Ski on! Make sure to stop by for a glass of bubbly and an Instagram pic! #CliquotInTheSnow!

I recommend spending a day exploring the alpine foothills of the Wasatch Mountains with a snowmobile tour. It’s an amazing way to explore the area and a great activity for the adventurous types!

Napa Valley is one of the world’s premier viticultural regions that is internationally known for the Cabernet Sauvignon that it produces.

Whether it’s your first time wine tasting, or you’re an experienced wine connoisseur, you’ll have an amazing time exploring the unique landscape and grape varietals of this beautiful valley!

Napa is filled with amazing hotel options but I recommend making Meadowood Napa Valley your home when visiting Napa. Nestled in the heart of St. Helena, on a 250-acre private estate, the property has an assortment of unique luxury accommodations.

There are eighty-five exquisitely appointed cottages, suites and lodges, nestled into the forested hillside, providing serenity and privacy.

The accommodations have been specifically designed to help you relax and unwind in your naturally beautiful surroundings.

There are three amazing restaurants on property as well as a daily wine tasting in the reception lodge. The Restaurant at Meadowood, is the Michelin 3-star restaurant, featuring California wine country cuisine and one of the most comprehensive lists of Napa Valley wines anywhere in the world.

The casual dining option is The Grill, which serves delicious meals throughout the day. They also offer 24-hour private dining and can prepare gourmet country picnic baskets. Finally The Pool Terrace Cafe, is located adjacent to the lap pool and offers al fresco dining.

There is also a 25-yard heated lap pool, a family pool, as well as an adult pool.

When many couples think about their honeymoon, they love the idea of staying in an Overwater Bungalow! It’s become synonymous with romance, relaxation and the start of a new life journey. I have some fun ideas on gorgeous resorts that feature overwater bungalows. I’ve explored the best properties around the world and from my travels I’ve come up with this list of THE BEST Overwater Bungalows!

It’s a romantic and secluded destination that combines well with many places in South East Asia – Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam.

BEST TIME OF YEAR TO VISIT

November to April which is their dry season.

HOW DO I GET THERE

Song Saa private island is located in Cambodia’s untouched Koh Rong Archipelago. To get there you’ll need to take an international flight into Siem Reap or Phnom Penh. From there, you’ll take a 45-minute local flight to the coastal city of Sihanoukville, and then you’ll catch a 45-minute speedboat to the resort.

Song Saa is the nicest luxury option for an overwater bungalow in South East Asia. The property has gourmet cuisine prepared by excellent chefs, private pools, unique cultural experiences and lots of activities for adventurous couples. An added bonus is that the property is ecofriendly and gives back to its local community through The Song Saa Foundation.

INSIDER TIP

Have the concierge setup a picnic on a private island for you. It such a unique and romantic experience! Also make sure to go on a bioluminescence swim at night to see the water light up! It is one of the few places in the world that you can see this.

SPECIAL VIP PERKS YOU’LL RECEIVE WHEN BOOKING WITH EVER AFTER HONEYMOONS

As special guests of Ever After Honeymoons you’ll receive daily breakfast, a 30-minute wellness consultation, a 50-minute massage for two and top priority for room upgrades.

Bora Bora is an exotic destination that is perfect for honeymooners looking for the overwater bungalow experience but not wanting to travel too far. It is an easy destination to get to from the West Coast and it’s a Zika free destination that is very easy to travel within. The scenery and views of Mount Otemanu are unbeatable.

BEST TIME OF YEAR TO VISIT

May through October has the least amount of rain, but it’s still nice to visit during other months of the year.

HOW DO I GET THERE

It’s a nonstop 8-hour flight from LAX to Papeete, Tahiti. From there you’ll take an additional 1-hour flight to Bora Bora. Upon arrival a speedboat will whisk you away to paradise.

It’s a beautiful and romantic property with the best of everything. The villas are gorgeous – some even have their own private plunge pools. The water is crystal clear and you can dive-in directly from your villa’s deck. The food is delicious, there is a wide assortment of water activities, and most importantly they offer unparalleled service that is by far the best you will find anywhere in Bora Bora.

INSIDER TIP

Book a Mountain View overwater bungalow that is farther down on the pontoon. These bungalows have the most privacy, the best views of Mount Otemanu and they are far enough out that you can jump right off your deck into the water.

Also, have the concierge setup a private island dinner for you. You’ll take a short boat ride to get to the island, that you’ll have all to yourself because they only host one couple per night.

SPECIAL VIP PERKS YOU’LL RECEIVE WHEN BOOKING WITH EVER AFTER HONEYMOONS

As special guests of Ever After Honeymoons you’ll receive daily breakfast, honeymoon surprises throughout your stay, and top priority for room upgrades.

The Maldives are a very unique and exotic destination, located between the Arabian and Laccadive seas. The Maldives are about as isolated as you can get and the perfect destination if you really want to get off the grid. The water is the clearest that you’ll find anywhere in the world – you can literally see fish swimming around your villas. It is considered one the best destinations for snorkeling and scuba diving and it’s a destination that pairs well with Thailand, Oman, Sri Lanka, and Dubai.

BEST TIME OF YEAR TO VISIT

December to April has the least amount of rain, but it’s still really nice other months of the year.

HOW DO I GET THERE

To get to the Maldives you’ll need to take an international flight into Malé. You can fly with major airlines like Emirates. Then you will take a speedboat to Gili Lankanfushi.

Gili Lankanfushi has a great sense of place and getting there from Malé is easy! It’s a short 15-minute speedboat ride whereas many other properties require a long boat ride and/or a seaplane transfer. Once you arrive, you’ll embrace the “No News, No Shoes” barefoot culture that promotes complete relaxation.

The property has huge spacious villas that are rustic but luxurious with overwater hammocks. There is an endless assortment of water activities for the more active couples. The food is delicious with a unique Indian influence and during the entirety of your stay you’ll have a private butler whose sole job is to make sure that you are well taken care of.

INSIDER TIP

My favorite villas are the Crusoe Residences. They are stand alone villas with their own hammocks, only reachable by boat.

Also, be sure to carve out time for a massage or a facial at the overwater spa. They offer unique treatments and the treatment rooms have glass bottoms, so you can watch the sealife while you enjoy your massage.

SPECIAL VIP PERKS YOU’LL RECEIVE WHEN BOOKING WITH EVER AFTER HONEYMOONS

As guests of Ever After Honeymoons you’ll receive daily buffet breakfast, a 30-minute spa treatment for two, a $100 Food & Beverage Credit, and top priority for room upgrades.

An overwater bungalow is the perfect accommodation for honeymooners! If you’d like to start planning your trip to SONG SAA, FOUR SEASONS BORA BORA, or GILI LANKANFUSHI please email me. Not only will you be VIP guests but you will also receive all the wonderful amenities mentioned above.

Paris is the City of Love. It is the City of the Lights. It is the epicenter of all things chic, beautiful, romantic and timeless. Whether you’re visiting with the love of your life, a group of friends, or exploring on your own, this city will take your breath away! Paris is filled with some of the most beautiful and iconic buildings and no visit would be complete without seeing the Eiffel Tour, Arc De Triomphe, and the Notre Dame Cathedral.

Art lovers will find no shortage of amazing museums to explore with classic pieces housed at the Louvre or the amazing collection of impressionist pieces at the Musee d’Orsay.

The dining options in Paris are also endless, as it is home to one of the largest selections of Michelin restaurants. If you’ve come to shop, Champs-Élysées offers some of the chicest couture you will find anywhere in the world! And finally, if you’re an architecture buff, you will delight in the diverse mix of styles, everything ranging from Gothic to Art Deco to Baroque to Art Nouveau to Renaissance to Classic French.

Paris is filled with so many amazing and unique hotel options but on my most recent visit, I made La Reserve Paris my home and everything about my stay was incredible! You can’t beat the location of this property.

It is comfortably nestled off the Champs-Elysées, and overlooks the Grand Palais, the Eiffel Tower, the Pantheon and the Concorde.

The hotel has the elegance of a 19th century urban mansion but provides a private club atmosphere, where only guests may access the library, smoking lounge, pool and fitness center.

La Reserve Paris is a boutique property with only 26 rooms and 14 suites, each having its own charm and personality.

All of the accommodations are spacious and comfortable, featuring custom silk walls, velvet drapes, contemporary paintings, antique bronze sculptures and brocade taffeta. You will be well taken care of during your stay, as every room and suite has a personal butler.

There is an intimate spa on property, with only three treatment rooms. They offer some of the world’s finest anti-aging treatments using Nescens products from Switzerland and they can tailor any service to your exact personal needs. You’ll also find one of the city’s only indoor pools as well as a fitness center. Guests can also request private yoga, pilates or personal training sessions.

Finally, the property has two amazing restaurants with gastronomic offerings from acclaimed chef Jerome Banctel. Le Gabriel is the double-Michelin-starred restaurant. I suggest ordering the tasting menu so that you can have a thorough introduction to the seasonal French cuisine. La Pagode is the second option, offering incredible dishes with a spicy flair.

If you want to take your trip to the next level, charter a private helicopter to give you an aerial tour of the City of Lights.

After you’ve admired the architecture and city streets from above, let your captain whisk you away to the Château de Ferrières for a relaxing lunch at Le Baron.

The restaurant is perfectly situated inside a beautiful 19th century French chateau and you can explore the amazing buildings and grounds after you dine.

Paris is the perfect destination for a romantic vacation or honeymoon! If you’d like to start planning your trip to La Reserve Paris please email me. Not only will you be VIP guests but you will receive daily breakfast, 100 euros spa credit, complimentary airport transfers (for 3-night stays) and top priority for room upgrades.
